Ben Rowe

Owner/Guide/Pilot
Ben was born and raised in Nome, Alaska. He started Twin Peaks Adventures in 2006. Ben learned to fish at a young age, then took up fly fishing at 17 and never looked back. He learned to fly airplanes at age 14, and began flying helicopters at the age of 26. Ben is an Airline Transport rated pilot, as well as a Flight Instructor, and flies for a living when he’s not guiding fishermen. He not only has extensive knowledge of the Seward Peninsula from a birds-eye view, but has also traveled much of it in boats and on snowmobiles. Ben worked three summers for the Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game in Nome on various salmon projects. Adventurous by nature, he always has to know what’s around the next bend. Ben enjoys exploring new territory, and sharing flying, fishing, and his Alaskan backyard with others.

Fred DeCicco

Expert Guide
Fred started guiding with Twin Peaks Adventures in 2006 after he retired from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game where he served the Sport Fish Division as Area Biologist in northwestern Alaska for most of his career. Fred has traveled extensively throughout much of western Alaska and has considerable knowledge of the resident and anadromous fishes of the area. As a fisheries biologist, he has conducted research on the life history and population dynamics of Dolly Varden, Arctic Grayling and other species over the past 25 years. Fred has fly fished throughout Alaska, in New Zealand, Western Australia, Mexico’s Yucatan, Christmas Island, Argentina and French Polynesia. Fred is a Certified Casting Instructor through the Federation of Fly Fishers and will be available to assist beginning or experienced fly casters as needed.

Steve Comstock

Expert GuideSteve began guiding with Twin Peaks Adventures in 2006. He attended high school at a small northern Vermont prep school (30 miles from the Canadian border). During his time in Vermont he completed the outward bound wilderness training program as part of the school curriculum and it was there that his love of the wilderness began. He was educated in wildlife biology at Arizona State University. Steve’s fishing began as a young boy in the streams, ponds and ocean throughout New England for smallmouth, trout, pickerel, pike, strippers and blues. After moving west for college he began fishing the Rocky Mountains and never looked back. Since that time his fishing exploits have taken him all over the continent from the flats and oceans of the Caribbean and Central America chasing bonefish, tarpon, snook, redfish, tuna, dorado (mahi mahi), and sailfish to the northern territories of Canada for pike and walleyes. But it was after his first visit to Alaska’s vast wilderness he was hooked and all he wanted to do was find a way to spend summers guiding anglers on their wilderness adventures. The wide open beauty and the unexplored streams and rivers of northwestern Alaska provided just such an opportunity. Currently when not in Alaska he works in Fort Collins, Colorado and in any spare time that is left he is either small game hunting with his dogs in the central plains or working as a partner in a small guide service fishing rivers in northern Colorado and southwestern Wyoming.

Dave LoSapio

Expert Guide
Aside from being a guide for Twin Peaks Adventures, Dave is owner/guide for Riverdog Adventures of Fort Collins, Colorado, where he has lived since 1977. He float fishes several rivers in Colorado and Wyoming along with co-owner Steve Comstock and clients. Dave grew up on the East Coast and has been a fly fisherman since the age of 11. He was lucky enough to grow up in an outdoor family and would regularly accompany his dad and brother on hunting and fishing trips, so he grew up with a fly rod in hand. He is a private pilot and airplane owner and uses the plane to access many fishing spots where he has fly-fished for bass, pike, trout, tarpon, bonefish and dorado among others, and of course, dollies, grayling and salmon here in Alaska. Dave would regularly fish in and around Yellowstone Park alongside the famous and late Charlie Brooks, where he honed many of the Fly Fishing skills he now shares with guests here in Nome. Dave has fished all over the US, Canada, Alaska and the Caribbean, but says that the Nome area is the best fishing he has experienced in his lifetime.

Amazing fishing

I had a wonderful time fishing with Twin Peaks in August. I am a lifelong Alaskan but had never been to the Nome area... Amazing fishing... I had always measured grayling in inches but on the Seward Peninsula you go by pounds... The helicopter has ruined me for life...We've got reservations for next August. ~ Paul R., Alaska

Trip of a lifetime!

I can’t get Twin Peaks Adventures out of my thoughts. I still can’t believe we made the trip. When I was told it was an experience I would not forget, I never thought it would affect me this much. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime! ….I hope not, because I really hope to make this trip again. ~ Bob L., USA
